2 Months & 13 Days Smoke Free

I am very glad to announce that today I am 2 months and 13 days SMOKE FREE! By now, based on the facts, my coughing and shortness of breath would have subsided. Actually, the coughing is gone. I’ve never really gotten into the point of coughing extremely maybe that’s why it went away that fast. Shortness of breath, I still get them from time to time especially when I’m working out, Yes! I am working out, but I’m not really worried since I know it will eventually disappear.

I know 2 months without cigarettes is a bit too soon to say that I am completely successful in quitting but I’m just so proud and I’ve been successfully avoiding cigarettes even during “extreme conditions” I’d say. Like when I’m walking outside and I see people smoking, it sometimes brings back the cravings. I just pop a candy it takes care of it.

There was one time when I attended a party at a bar where everybody is smoking, it was like hell on Earth! I got so drunk but I still managed to stay away from smoking.

It feels so good, I can’t imagine myself smoking another cigarette right now. I can’t even believe that I liked cigarettes before and I got hooked on smoking them. I think it was just all the peer pressure and the looking cool thing that made want cigarettes, and eventually the nicotine got into my system and I was hooked.

The only thing that I wish I could change right now is where I live. Because everyday I would pass by this road where the pollution is really terrible, there are lots of vehicles lined up and all their engines are running! You can actually see clouds of smoke as you approach the area. Its like everytime I pass that 30 meter area, I feel like I’ve smoked 3 cigarettes already because of the carbon monoxide emitted by the engines.

And of course there are those that are smoking in public and you can’t help but inhale some of the second hand smoke. But anyways, besides those I think I’m doing pretty good and I know I’m off to getting rid of cigarettes forever.

To all those planning to stop smoking, do it now! Now is the best time to quit. To those who keep failing, make up your mind. You’re only failing because you want to.

Til next!
